cheap bleach at Dollar General

I thought I'd post that our local Dollar General stores have 6% bleach (American Value brand) in 3 qt. for $1.35. Sure beats what I've been able to find at Wal-Mart or Sam's.

(I'm near Chattanooga, Tennessee. I think Dollar General is a mostly southeastern US chain.)

We get the 96oz 6% at walmart for around a 1.25

In Mesa, AZ, I get 12.5% fresh (locally produced) bleach for $9.95 for a tub of 4 gallons :) It's available at any of the GOOD pool stores for that price. It's not available at the chain pool stores at ANY price :(

Shouldn't it be $1??!

I'm pretty sure the American Value brand from Dollar General is 5.25%

I found some really cheap 6% at Sav-a-lot Grocery Store for 99 cents for 3 quart bottle.:eek: :D I've been buying alot trying to clear pool.:( But today, I noticed that it sure doesn't smell real strong.:mad: Don't know if it is any good. Any idea how to find out?:confused:

Good point!!;)

"Any idea how to find out?"
Just test your water and use the bleach calc. to see if it is the strength that it says it is.

I just bought AquaChem liquid chlorine 10% (sodium hypochlorite) at Wal-mart for 2.49 gal. Isn't that a better deal than buying the household bleach which would take 2 gals to equal the 10% of the AquaChem liquid?

I used the 99 cent ultra bleach from Sav A Lot and it worked just fine for me.
